ratio of rimfire to other long guns

I have bunch of rimfires.

Those and my .221 Fireball's are my favorites.

I'm just about 50/50. With .22lr ammo so hard to get these past few years, I've been able to pick up lightly used rifles at unbelievable prices. Without long shooting ranges in my immediate area, I enjoy the "long range" feel of shooting .22lr at 150 yards.

Several long guns but only one rimfire (Kimber CC - a hang-onto rife since not made anymore).

I probably answered wrong, under 10% of my long guns are rimfires. But shotguns are long guns, but this being in the rifle section I probably should have excluded them. If I had the ratio would have been higher, obviously.

Eleven long guns, two of them are .22 rimfire; a semiauto and a bolt action repeater.

I do a lot of instructing so I own more than my share of .22's.

I sold my last CF rifle recently everything I have now is rimfire or pcc.

0%, give or take.

nothing better than a scoped 22lr for distant bunnies.

I have next to zero interest in rimfire, but have one .22LR rifle. So, well under the 10% mark.

I have a couple, they used to get shot a lot when a brick was $8. Sigh.

I currently have 27 rifles, one of which is a rimfire.

But I have about half a dozen rimfire pistols.

I hear you. Other than a couple suppressed rimfires (a rifle and a pistol), I don't really shoot it much. I've never found almost anything rimfire all that interesting, but the saving grace was it was cheap and available everywhere. In the last few years, those two statements are no longer true. So, meh, I'll shoot up some subsonics through a can-equipped .22 at times for the giggles, but that is about it.

7 rifles, 3 of them rim fires.

Marlin 60 with tech sights
10/22, way (too) customized
Savage 9317tr, 17 hmr

1, 1 is plenty.

2 × 12 ga (one pump, one semi-auto), 2 × .410 (one single shot, one bolt action)
1 × .260 Rem, 6 mm Ackley Imp, .357 lever, .22 LR, .17 HMR. ...Not counting handguns of course.

This poll makes me want to buy another 22lr pistol!

RF rifles = 44%
CF rifles = 56%

RF pistols = 32%
CF pistols = 68%

I have 78% rimfires (21), 22% centerfires (6).

I love rimfire rifles. I shoot in a league, which accounts for about four of them, but the rest are "just because." I can't resist a nice rimfire rifle.

I even bought a CZ Scout and a 10/22 Compact just to try to get my girlfriend a little more interested in shooting. It didn't work. I don't care -- I'll shoot the little beggars myself.

rifles: 6 out of 22, handguns 4 out of 11 for a grand total of 10 out of 33

but it is shifting as for the latest 6 buys, only one was rimfire (the incredible Anschutz 1712 silhouette sporter)
5 of the 10 rimfires are used in competition, the others I almost exclusively use to introduce and to train new shooters, wich means I don't shoot them myself anymore..

I have two Marlin 60's and enjoy both of them. Maybe not quite as much as my AR and PTR 91, but they are still great for training and cheaper to shoot...

I gotta go count them and then do math to figure out the ratio?? Ugh my head!


So 40% long guns and 12.5% handguns.

I am curious as to why you are curious?

Well I'll be - mine works out to 50% long guns and 50% handguns right now.

I do not include shotguns, because there are no rimfire shotguns.



I love .22lr annd I am a rifle person at heart so I'm not surprised by the long guns. The handguns was more a result of a quest for the ultimate all-around .22, which I did not get right on the first try.


[EDIT: I voted 30% to 50%.]
